The whole thing is painted a semi gloss black. I used a cut off wheel perpendicular to the back and just ran it along the back area crosswise. No need to cut between the fins. It's thin aluminum and goes away really quickly.

Thank you, I will have to give this a shot.

I've done this to two scoop inserts myself. I think it's the best looking way to have functional scoops & also helps to keep debris out. If I was going to race the car, I believe I would pull the whole insert out & make a larger opening for the intake air. I've always felt that the small openings with the ribs still in might impede airflow a slight bit.
